Ask me about how my football team's success determines my self worth, and how I wish I lived in New Orleans.
Nah I still am. Ugly ugly ugly. Dropped passes and dumb penalties. They got lucky.

I guess I'd rather be lucky in a win and good in a loss but man this team. This game should have been a blowout and it they cannot close teams out, at least thus far. A lot to work on. Dropped passes should be an easy fix but these penalties are already beyond old.

Up shit creek with a turd for a paddle.

He was down short of the goalline with 8 seconds left. For whatever reason, there is a rule that within 2 minutes, going from a stopped clock to a running one there is a 10 second runoff. So goodbye to the 8 seconds.

The defense did a great job keeping us in it though. This is the kinda game we would have lost badly before. Now Matt can afford to not be perfect every game. I dig it.

They did and Detroit is a solid offense, but pass rush wasn't consistent enough, I cannot stand this team in zone defense, and dumb penalties on Tru at the end.

Overall good performance by them considering the turnovers by the offense though.

It's weird, it was a pretty great performance by the team but penalties and turnovers keep teams around.

Oh well, a win is a win I guess.

he doesn't practice has a bad offensive line & the other 10 players on offense with him are getting progressively more injured by the week

perhaps it's Shula's game plan to take out all these "weapons" and "protections" the GMs keep adding and hope Newton just loses his poo poo and starts trying to do it all and carry the team again

And but for a questionable call, we'd only be one game back behind the Falcons. :argh:

Still, considering how the Saints have sucked in September lately, I'll take a W.

Last year probably multiple concussions, shoulder injury and his ankle has been bad for like 2 years now.

His training camp was pretty much being a cheer leader + a minimal pitch count. So he's now realistically had a season plus an off-season injured and not training or practicing and he's lost a lot of his progress as a qb.

The offensive line still sucks so he still gets lit up and he's so banged up he can't practice during the week so any change they might want to make they can't.

Olsen and Benjamin are now both hurt.

He doesn't take painkillers and refuses to take the needle. Which probably affects him a bit too.

I don't know if I'd consider him done but the team mishandled him last off-season. He had surgery way too late in the year to be back for training camp and this is the result.

"i'll take a gross, ugly win over a loss" is a terrible mindset because we only get so many times that we spin three cherries when we're trying to stop the opposing team from making a one yard score

the falcons record paints them as a lot better team than they look

Yea, this team still frustrates the crap out of me. Being bailed out AGAIN at the goal line really doesn't change that.

Quinn said he believed Julios injury was not serious. But I'm pretty sure he said that for Vic also sooooo :raise:

They originally put Vic at a month so best case is @NE.

A running QB with a good deep ball was asked to transform into a pocket passer that throws short to intermediary routes. They over-rotated into breaking him. He needed more short and intermediate routes as part of his repertoire, but instead they tried to change him wholesale.

Should just move on from Cam if the plan is to ask him to become Drew Brees.

Also, Ron Rivera is bad. He punted today from the Saints 35 yard line. It went into the endzone for a net 15 yard punt as opposed to kicking a 53 yd FG or going for it on 4th & 5 down 3 scores.

I don't know. I think they are moving in the right direction. Hopefully the early bye allows them to digest what has been going on, and they settle down a bit. The Falcons seem like they are just a step off of the pace they had late last season.

I was convinced I was drunkenly reading field placement incorrectly after I ranted aloud about how dumb that was. Then a replay confirmed it and I got to rant about how dumb it was a second time.

That was a bad game. This team is bad with our current injuries. Cam is going to end the season with 60 sacks.

Yeah. It was pretty sad watching Cam give a super exaggerated slow windup and then not even have much velocity on the throw despite all that. He's definitely hurt and/or regressed mechanically. Sucks but we'll take the win.

At one point the refs incorrectly called delay of game. Like there were three seconds left on the clock.

At first the crowd boo'd shula because that's his speciality.

Upon realization of what had happened, they started boo'ing the refs...in between the next five plays.
